The inside depth of the gold tone case is 5 inches. I have a baritone and it does not fit in the standard gold tone case. Carlton makes quality cases but they are quite expensive.
You might want to find a good luthier or music store that has access to larger cases. You can then modify the case by cutting out the accessory compartment and trimming it down for the neck rest . A razor and some glue should do it. You can then use hand towels around the bout to secure the fit.

Larry Pogreba used an Epiphone jumbo/archtop case with the accessory pocket removed for mine. A fairly inexpensive option.

| My experience with Larry Pogreba was like Ben's - mine is a baritone, and so a bit longer, and he got a case for a 12 string guitar and took the accessory box out and it works fine. If I needed to fly with it much I'd want to come up with something else. |

Good to hear the name Larry Pogreba mentioned a couple time in the thread. I have one of his reg scale and baritone ‘
